J Dear, lovely girl, my thoughts are thine in this sweet twilight hour, ‘ The young, the br’ght, the beautiful, gone like a ’ etrkken fbwer; A thousand holy memories are rushing o’er my heart, j And there thine itnnge seems jnce more to life and Icve to start: I see thy dark and clustering curli around thy gen tle face, Thy soft black eye, thy rosy lip, and all thy witeh [ Log grtce, And hear the cadence of thy voice come sweetly stealing by, I ike music from touie fairy fount beneath the mo.n light sky. Oh couldst thou, sweet and gentle girl, on earth do longer dwell 7 Had thy dear mother’s love no power to hold thee with its spell? Had tby sweet sister’* pleading voice no tone to keep tlee here ? Had life no cb&r.n to make thy home than paradise mere dear ? Ah no, the bright, the angel band bent gently from the sky, And wooed and won thee to their home, their own blest home on high. And there, beneath the holy shade of myriad starry wings, Thou wanderest ’mid the living flowers of heaven’s own living springs, To hear the lofty music tonas, the by tn as of rollin spheres, Blend with thy own soul melodies through God’s eteina* years. But oh! does deeper, tenderer love in th?sc high realms have birth Than tb.t which lives and throbs and weeps in hu man hearts on earth ? Thethouemd blossoms that have died beneath the autumn bias’, Wip blucm in Juture springs as bright as in the springs iur.g past; Tlie rose and violet will lift tbeir cups of white and blue, As era at morn and mournful eve to ca'ch the fall ing dew • Tbe Lr’ght wing’d birds will pour their songs of love from every tree, The bright young streams with ringing shout leap onwaru to the sea ; But naught ol these can ever f icrce tbe cold and si lent shade Where with thine arms upon thy breast thy lovely form is laid. Yet cone to us, dear Nannie, come, in this soft, stilly hour, And tell us «f thy happy home in heaven’s immor tal bj wer; I know that thou art there, for all thy thoughts le« nea'h the skies Were beau cous n an Angel’s dream asleep in Paradise. Anl oh 1 ask that when thy hymns of ecstacy ascend, Thou’lt breathe cue deep and holy prayer lo.* thy p<.or. erring fr>eud, Who Eliil wiih weary step must tread, in loneliness and ploom, Vuchecred by Lwer or blessed star, her pathway to the tomb.

MIBCELMNEOBB LI- TERITIIIE AMi NEWS. The Recent Eait LqiinJic In the ICfngdom I cf Naples. LEOATIOM GF THE U. S. OF AMERICA. ? Naples. Italy, August 26, lfc?sl. S To the Editor* cf the IVashington Republic : On the 14th tilt., the Western portion of the continent*! part of this kingdom, from the Northern confines of Calabr a to the Roman frontier, was agitated by several calamitous •hocks of earthquake. This convulsion ap pears to have had i.s origin in the volcanic re gion cf Mount Vokure. about one hundred miles to the Southeast of Naples. It is a de tached and isolated eminence, three thousand feet in elevation, rising at the point where the Appenine chain Cermm des on the borders of the Basiucila and Apulia; its slopes ard sum mi’s are broken into numerot.B craters, of the vi.ality of which no record exists, b t which yet hear unmistakable evidences of eruptive violence at some remote period. The city of Meili, separated from Mount Volture by a deep ravine, is built upon the summit of a hill, the composition of which is grey lava, intersected by strata of travertine upon lawyers of aahe«, sand tufa, and decom posed stalac.ites, all denoting the site of an ex tinct or dormant volcano. Previous to the first shock a small stream which runs near th? town suddenly disappeared, and the shepherds on the mountain were alarmed by loud rum bling noises beneath feet. The monks of an adjoining convert, admonished by these phenomena, escaped from th n ir building almost at the moment it was rent in twain. At the Cm shock Melfi, whxh contains *en thousand inhabitants, was prostrated in the dust, nothing but a few crumbing walls survi ving the general ruin. An unknown number of its inhabitants wore buried under the falling ma«a of fabrics; np to the present moment seven hundred dead bodies have been disin terred and others are constantly found: more than two hundred persons lie in an adji cent hospital, suffering under grievous wound*, while many have bean dug out alive from the r tiins. Amongst others,a female infant a year old, after lying buried for two days, was brough’ ou’ living and unharmed and restored to its afflicted mother, widowed by this fame calamity. The neighboring towns nf Atelia, Riuneno, I3«irile, and Rapolia, are sufferers by the same convulsion. Rionero is a general wreck, not a sound bouse remaining—more than a hun dre i persons Lave here perished, and a? many have been maimed or wounded. In Bari'e, the only ed.fice not entirely des roysd is the orphan asylum, while the discovered dead amount to about one hundred and fifty. In the commune of Bari, the towns of Cerr'.o, Min ♦ rvino, Spinasxola, Andria and Trani, were al injured moro or less. In Canosa, the ancient Canosium, founded by Diomed, and whose walls once enclosed a circuit of s-xteon miles, three hundred and seventy six ho t es were thrown down. At the last reports the shocks around Mount Volture continued and one half of the ci y of Venosa, (ha ancient Venn* sia, contiining six thousind inhabitants and celebrated as the birthplace of Horace was destroyed. The mountain provinces of the Abruzzi and of Calabria, where (he earth quake of 1781 destroyed three hundred ci ies and bnried thirty thousa&d human beings, have thus far esciped. The recent earthquake commenced wi'ha sharp concussion, which was succeeded by an undulatory movement, the firat shock being about sixty secocds in duration. At Me U there were six sbecks. the first at 5.J P. M , the second st 34,'he third at 4{. the fourth at 10 P.M., the fifth at 3 A. M , and the sixth at 7 A. M. At my Summer residence in the country, eighty miles from Meili, th > house shook to its foundation, and such was the vibration, that it was duEc ilt to descend the staircase. For Un minute? previous the house dog howled in most di?mal tones, rne chickens cack'ed and hurried about as if fleeing from some anticipated danger, and a pair < f turkey 3 1 rose in the air and Hew around t..e hou»e •creaming at if seized by a secret terrer, while all the dogs in the ncighborhoud were in fall 1 bay. No damage was done at L i Cava, or at Naples, beyond slight cracks in old walls < Al! eyes are now turned upon Vesuvius, as 1 the safety vulve through which the struggling 1 subterranean fires and steam may find a s<fe I ventji.nd it is generally supposed that an irruption is imminent, although no local bigns are yet apparent. The whole country from Naples to Reggio and the Straits of Mesrina, ’ is a volcsn.e region, forming (hatgreat viaduct , of fire, which from .Stna to Vesuvius. , Stromboli io ti.e Lija’i group which has been ( burning for three hundred years before the $ Christian era down to the present time, is o e < of the escape pipes cl th s field of b oarir.e | and subterranean combustion but it ;s made- <* qu&te to those great cccasions when the gasses J of the overcharged earth seek a vent; Vesu- 1 vim or iE na are alcn) equal to such emer- • gencies. It is a cuneus fact that the apparently er inrt nfrrr* r»rr>dtir<* »R/b jevastalion. Vesuvius was silent for an 1111 1 tnemoriablo period down U A. D., 79. the dale ’ of the destruction of Herculaneum and Pom ’ peii. After a long iriterer.l of slumber, Mount * Epomeo in Lchia bu-st out A. D, 1301. and l covered the whole is'and with a deluge ol luva, 1 and A D 153 d, Monte Nuovo, in the Cam pi ■' P.egraei, in 'hrty-sii hours rose from the 1 bowels of the earth to a height of four hun- ( dred and forty leet, near tbe site cf an old era ‘ ter. The Solfa erra. in iho same viciui y, con 1 tinues to amoke w ide the twenty six craters 1 around it, anperCcially jtdging, are ex it.ct. ' II would boa rath prediction, ho*over, to ' make, that they will never return to life, so ’ iong as the nnoke issuing ftom the Solfaterra 1 indicates the existence ol a be of living fire s ■rounrit heir foundat on From the formation of this latter crater, a theory < I volcanic ac tion may be deduced, which, whether ju-t or ’ not, pcsteases some plau.ibi'ty. From forty to fifty (eel below the surface ot t e Solfaterra, in striking pita for sulphur, boiling water is ‘ always found, which heats the sit.ci up to the ' surface, ns any one may testify by collecting 1 a handful; and it has also the effect, with the 1 underlying heat to boil the water in thealuu vats, sunk a few feet in Iho earth ! Steam aud smoke are cons'antly issuing from the summits of lhe hills around the era ter, as well as from a large cavity at their base, all indicating that the earthly strata rests upon a lake of water, beneath which ia a fiery fur nace. This probably ia the formation of Vesu vius and all other vo canoes, which, if it be the case, may explain their eruptions by the agency of thtao aut.terranean waters heated in o steam, and, when choked or overcharged from distant and communicating sources of combustion,bursting like a boi er, ami turioue ly exploding in'o the air, the s;. perincumbent mass and their obs'ructing couten's. This supposition derives some support from the fact that boiling water is always rjscled in eruptions. The loss of life from the esrtl quake of the 14th nit., it is supposed will amount to more than two thousand five hundred souls. Every effort is making by the proper authorities to mitigate th« calamity, and tbe government has already contributed ten thousand ducats to the relief of the survivors It is to be hoped th it Iresh disasters may not arise ; but serious ap prehens.on will be felt on the subject until ,£ na or Vesuvius get into action. Truly yuurs, Edward Jot Morris. < The following graphic »eceunt is extracte! from the Naples correspondence of (he London Daily News: “ Nkai Mblfi, Aug, 25.—1 will endeavor to give you a narrative o« what I have ecus in my journey from Naples to the scene of the awful events of the 14th. When 1 reached the table land of the Terra di Ixivorn, I harm that the earthquake had been fill there much moie distinctly than in the city c f Na ples ; indeed the vibrati* n lasted thirty seconds; se veral persons were thrown cn the ground and a ftw houses are split—that is, the walls are cracked, but fortunately no life was het as far as I can learn. — Continuing my j urnay, I found Avellinebad suffer ed aligbtly, without lors ct life. At Monteverue, fix person? were buried in the ruins of a house, and many ethers wounded. The inhabitants of this district are ia a most exci ted slate, aa other slight shocks have been felt.— Many have fl.*d from the villages, and 1 saw groups of people living in hute o tsi Jo the towns. Still more detractive was the effect oi the card quake at Bori noand Axceli, when many hcuses are in adur ger ousstate, and must be pulled down. Here alsa I found the people grea’ly excited The whole o '.he district cf Buri ba* suffered for mi ! es round; scarce ly a bouM in ai»y ol the visages in that direction may be said no: to be injured. T* e teiror and misery are b.yonu rcy pewew of description Basciiicata has suffered throughout the whole district. The town of Ve. osa is nearly destroyed ; the co rket place is ci e heap of ruins, and mere than one place I observ.d the earth urn up and showing ragged fu sores. In this distnet the earthquake assumed its most tarritde phenomenon, aiz : fir-t, a terpendkular r.c tiou. and then an oacil atory. R-jpola is in ruin ; the cathedral no longer csi.ts. An inhali'.»nt of this towm told me that the <a ling cf 'he buildings pre duetd such a consternation, that for more titan half an bear alter the erect be could find one who "ould gire a coherent ans »er to a questica Day and n;ght, women, men, ard ch’ldrt-n were tearing away the ruins to fin 1 the.r friends and relatives At Kicreno the isha*. ittn:s were employed when I arrived in digging at the ruins Hi f this to vn Ji destroyed. iis«i ver 4of the woun-.’el. not lee» thin 1.0; they were wen ting surgical aid very much but I feared to discover my proieisi n e& I could not remain, being as yau know, sent to Mela. I th nk I never could behold a more painful picture, and I need not remind you I bare arended the wounded af.er mo e than one battle, and that is tad enough; but bate, w.th the horrors of th: very worst at wounds, the exu h you see a mother lament in? a child under a mars cf fallen rubbish ; a farther wi:d --v asking. “Where is my fem’y Imy wileT’— children wiihoot parents; s rt me la utn m j over the dying, some weeping over ifae dead. *Tne village o Baviile has actually disippcared I Lund all so cut this district large fiances, partly tided np-w-..n u«us<s.

The towtt offersja strange and awful ap pearance. Many h&Yefled—others linger about the ruins, as fond friends about all they love best in the worh’. I have no time to £‘ra you any notice of the va r'ous phenomena. Indeed I have learned little as yet. ft appears, hewejrar, certain, that the convuls ing current was strongest in Mvlfi, and took a di rection in the centre f the peninsula toward Sicily. The waler is still wartih-, and repeated slight shocks h ive been felt in several places. Some suppose a volcano will break out, &g there is evilently tome subterranean a:(ion gHog on. The whole diatrict, 1 observe, presents many traces of vdcanic action in past times. Etna and Gauvins have been quiet for come time past a fsc.’ worth remembering when epeculating on causes. The earthquake was follow ed by hurricanes, which have also done much injury. To tell you the truth) I am by no means means quiet in my mind wh’le living here; the elements of dc etrucuon are below us. twill let you know more os sown as possible. The village ol Aeaoti hasalrosuffered immensely; 32 housed have fallen in. (do not know how many liven arc lost; I should imagine altogether the loss of life cannot be less than three taousard, including all thesufljrers in all the '.owns. Sixty-five boys of the college ot Melfi are supposed to have perished. The calamity to k place when most of the population were sleeping, as is thoc;;atom in Italy, after dinner. I htiVa heard that in one place a lake has appeared. Molfi ia (he site of an old 'vclcano. In 1783 an equally terrible earthquake occurred in Calabria, and from that period up to the present (indeed almost annua'ly) slight schocks have been felt, but happily without touch damage or loss ci 1 fa. r Sicily has ever suffered mote than the conti nent; the city of Catania has more than once been entirely destroyed. Yesterday (Mb) Vesuvius threw out boiling water. This morning at day break I observed a little smoko wav issuing from the crater. Thb Language of Flowers —The fair lily ia an imHge of holy innocence; the purple rose a figure of unfelt l4*e; faith is represent cd to us in the blue passion flower; hope beams forth from th#» eon; peace from the br&bSh ; imtuTTtdity from the immor telle ; tha cares of life are represented by the rosemary; the victory of lhe spirit by the palm; modes’y, by the blue, fragiant violet; com panion uy the ivy; tenderness bytho myrtle; affectionate ruminiscenc) by the forget-me-noi; natural honesty and fidelity by the oak leaf; unassiimingnesj by the corn flower (thecyatie); and lhe auriculae, “how Iriendlv they look upon us wi h their childlike eyes.” Even the dispositions of the human soul are expressed by flowers Thus, silent grief ie portrayed cd by lhe weeping willow; sadness by the an £elica; shuddering by the aspen; melanebJy by the cypress; desire of mee ing again by the etarwori; the night smelling rocket is a figure of lift, as it stands ou lhe frontiers between light and darkl ess. Thus nature, by these flowers, seem to betoken her loving sympathy with u.«, and whom hath she not more often consoled than voiceless men are able to do. Discoveby or Woodfeskebs’ Stobes.—ln stripping oft the bark, I observed it perforated with holes larger than those which a musket bullet would make, shaped with the most accu rate precision, as if bored under the guidance of a rule and compass, and many of them filled most neatly, with acorns. Earl.er in the sea son, 1 remarked the hoks in most of all the softet timber; but imagining they were caused by wood insects, I did not stop to examine or inquire ; but now, finding them studded with acorns, firmly fixed in, which I knew could not have been driven there by the wind,* I sought for an explanation, which was practicably given me by Captain S ’s pointingout a flock of woodpeckers, busily and noisily employed in the provident task of securing the winter’s pro visions ; for it appears that that sagacious bird is not all the time thriftlessly engaged in “ Tap ping the hollow beech-tree” for the mere idle purpose of empty sound, but spends, its sum mer season in picking these holes, in which it laysits store of food for the winter, where the elements can neitheraflect or place beyond their reach, and it is a sure omen that the snowy period is approaching when these birds com mence stowing away their acorns, which other wise might be covered by its fall. 1 frequently paused from my chopping, to M atch them, in a neighborhood, with the acorns in their bills, halt clawing, hall flying around the tree, and admired the adroitness with which they triedit at different holes until they found one, of its exact calibre; when, inserting the pointed end, they tapped it home most artistically, with their beak,and flew do*n for another. But their natural instinct is even more remarkable in the choice of the nuts, which you will invariably find sound : whereas it is an utter impossibility, in selecting them for roasting, to pick up a batch that will not have half of them unfit for use, the most sate and polished frequently con tain a large grub, generated "itfiin. Even the wily Digger India r, with all hiscraft and expe rience, is unable to arrive at anything like an unerring selection; while in a large bag-full, that we took from the bark of our fog there was not one containing the slightest germ of decay. They never encroach on their packed stores until all the r.uts on the surface are cover cd, when they resort to those in the bark, and peek them of their contents without removing the shell from the holes. The bark of the pine tree, from its great thickness, and the case of boring is mostly sought by these birds, as their granery for the winter season. — Kelly'i Ezcur iijn to Cali/o’nia. Ttlt Git.

On this occas.on the above persons invited Mr Gadsden to visit them, and to meet at an oaktrerjus: beyond Gadsden’s Green, over the creek, at Hampstead, to a collation pre pared at their joint exponas for the occas on. Hera they talked over the mischiefs which the Stamp Act would have indueed, and congratu lated each other on i s repeal. On (bis occa sion, Mr Gadsden delivered to them an ad dress. stating their rights, and encouraging the u to defend th m. against all foreign taxa tion. Upon which joining hands around the nee, they associated themselves as difinders and supporters as American liberty and from that time, the oak was called Liberty Tree and public mee inga were occasionally holden there The ‘ Declsration of Independence was read under this tree (lor the first time tn South Carolina ) by Christopher Gadsden on the sth August, 1776 Cuba.—A Washington correspondent of the ( Conner and Enquirer has the following re- < marks in regard to the rumored existence of a treaty between Ecg’and, Spain, and the United Stater, guaraaiyiog the preservation of Cube to Sptin ’ •‘You have no doubt see t what has been reiterated in the public press about a corres pondencein the archives of the S'ate Depart ment relative to thia countiy being a party to the guaian.v with France and England, but such a statement has no foandation in lae‘.

O. Bulletin, appeared almost coot niporane ouely in France and England, in the eighteenth century, and were known a> tne Mississippi and South Soa schemes. The Journal of Com merce seem) to recognize in our lavish and prodigal expenditure of money, a family like ness between the present condi ion of the country, and that of France, during the preva lence of the Mississippi mania. Our design is not to detect any similitude, but simply to chronicle, as agreeable reading, some of the particulars of those two great schemes, which so infatuated and possessed the public mind, of j •.he two most en ightened nations of tho world, as to have threatened to unhinge lhe political and social condition of Europe, and involve the whole Continent in a general bankruptcy.— First in order, as well in regard to priority and magnitude, was the Mississippi scheme- Ths author of this magnificent bubble and stupen dous fraud, was John Law, the son of a rich banker of Edinburg, in which city he was born in IG7I. He was u inan of fine abilities, and particularly skilled in mathematics, and inti mately acquainted with all matters re'ating to banking and finance. He possessed, in an extraordinary degree, the qualifications of a handsome person, and an unusual fund of wit and generous animal spirits. He abandoned the pursuits of his calling, banking, and became a fashionable and successful gambler, and from bis superior add'ess and companionable habits, he readily obtained the entre to the best society in London. Engaging in a duel, in which he killed his adversary, he was compelled to fly to the Continent, where he still sustained his for mer reputation, of an accomplished gentlemao, and most successful gambler, still associating with th® higheat jservonafes. I.nvr wan th* gt eat projector bfa paper cutfency, and was anxious to commence his experiment of a Bank with paper issues in one of the small States of Italy, the Prince ot which made this significant answer to Mr. Law’s proposition: “No, Mr. Law; 1 am by far too poor a potentate to be ruined; but, if I know lhe French, they are exactly tbe people with whom you will suc ceed ” Law eventually came to the same conclusion: and in 1711 he removed to Paris, minding again with the best society. Upon the death of Louis XIV and thoacces sion of the Duke of Orleans to lhe Regency, lhe money affairs of Franco were involved in the mot! frightful confusion, and a national bankruptcy seemed to be inevitable The nst onal debt amounted to 3 111 000,000 livres (£<22.000.000 sterling), bearing an interest of 16,000,000 livres (above £6,000,000 sterling.) At this junctu'o, t hi-* bank t leoriat opportunely made bis appearance, and proposed to relieve France of all her difficulties. It is worth while to dwell a little upon the argurnente with which he pressed hid grand idea of a paper ctrcula tion; they are the same that are used now a dtys by the advocates of an irresponsible paper currency. Gold, silver, copper, or any other kind of coinage, he arid, are not real wealth; they are only signa or representatives of real weakh, and derive their value from public confidence. It does not matter, therefore, what the kind of coinage ba which a r.a’.ion agrees to use; paper coinage or a lemher coinage is as good as a metallic one. A metal lic coinage does not cor atitute jeal richer, but is valuable only because the public choose to consider it valuable; and if the public will only do lhe same with paper notes, then paper notes will be on equality with gold aud silver coin. W hat is a louis d’or but u b ink note, only mnde of gold; or a crown, but a bark note, only made of silver 1 it doe# not signify, therefore, what a nation chooses to consider money, be it even ojster sheila; for meh will serve aa a sign or represanta ive of real wealth, the same as a piece of metal. It is not worth white to refute these obviouafal laciea. Gold, ifitdoea not of itself constitute real wealth, is relatively of more value than paper; —it is a precious metal, and useful in the arts ; it is scarce, and obtained with difficulty, at great cost of time and labor ; while paper, also a use ful commodity, from its cheap production, has an infinitely less intrinsic value. The precious metals are dear substances; paper is a cheap substance. The value of a metallic currency is ' therefore not so liable to fluctuation as one en tirely of paper. Furthermore, paper money, to 1 be a safe circulating rredium, must represent • real wealth, and not extend beyond the legiti- < ma’c demands of circulation. The proposition of Law was to establish a National Bank, w should Issue notes on the basis of landed prop erty andol the Stale’s revenues; it was a cap tivating one, and although rejected by lhe Coun cil of Finance, was highly favorei by the Re gent, through whose influence he obtained leave < io establish a private bank. The institution < was so successful, ihat in the course ot three < years it became, what it was originally designed i to be, a national insti ution, but from being a ( inero tank, it became a gigantic commercial ( company, and this was the qerni of iho Missis- ( sippi senrree or bubble, of wnich Law was the chief manager. We have condensed from Chambers’ Miscel- ■ lanya history of this stupendous frnu.i: “In 1717, an institution was estabi shed un- ’ der the directorship of Mr. Law, called the ’ “Cninpanv of Wist,” or more commonly I the Mississippi Company :to which a grant was i made of the whole of that tract of land on the i American continent through which the Missis- , aippi flow’s —such at the time being French j property. The s ock consisted of 200 000 shares , at 500 livres each. On lhe 4th ot September, 1718, the farm of tobacco wes made over to this ‘ Company for a consideration ; three months afterwards it acquired the charier and property ‘ of the Senegal company; and in May, 1719. it < obtained from the regent a monopoly ol trade I with the East Indies, China, and the South | Seas, on condition of paying the debts of tbe I East India Company, then dissolved. Thus ( enlarged,the Company abandoned the name of the u Company of the Indies,” at the same time , creating 50,000 additional shares at an Increased j price. Nor was thia all. In July, 17(9, thj < Mint was mad? over to the Company of lhe In- . dies for a sum of money; in August foliewing, ‘ the farming of lhe whole taxes of lhe na'i-jn 1 was purchased by the Con.pany ; and lhe privi- 1 lege of receiving other branches of the revenue • quickly followed—so that before the end of j lhe year 1719, the Company of the Indies had < incorporated within itself nearly all the commer- j cial enteipriees of lhe nation. Law was thus < the director and manager of two gre«t national institutions—tbe Royal Bank and the colossal * trading company called the Company of the Indios. In February, 1720, these two were uni- ‘ ted; and Law, the founder of both, becamo the most powerful man in France. Between iho f date of the incorporation of the two concerns t and the Ist of May, 1720, the bank ordered a < freah issue of notes to the amount of 1,010.- t 400,00 U livres, miking the total quantity issued i amount to the enormous sum of 2,090,400.000 < livres. t “ The end of the year 1719, and tbe beginning of the year 1720 was a period cf wild infatuation. The frenzy extended to all ranks and classes. The shares soon rose to 5000 livres each. The state creditors being paid in bank notes, such a quantity of paper was thrown into circulation that it could be disposed of in no other way than by the purchase of East India stock; and the com petition of these porchases against each other ncreascd the price of shares still more rapidly. In November, 1719 they were sold at 10,000 livres each, cr at twenty times the original price. “So sudden and rapid was the rise of the price of shares, that enormous fortunes were made in the course of a few days, and many in stances are recorded of petsons in the lowest ranks of life suddenly realizing immense wealth Money circulated in profusion, the lower classes indulged in luxuries previously unattainable, and the nrice of commodities rose without in jury to the people. The ell o' cloth, which had sold for fifteen livres, now sold fr fifty; and the pound of coflee rose from fifty sols to eigh teen livres. Wages rose accordingly. In the course of three months, the silversmiths oi Paris had received orders for, and manufacturedaTove £7,000,000 worth of plate. Paris was crowded with foreign visitors, who had come to speculate in the stocks No f.-wcr than 3G5.000 stran gers are said to have been living in Paris in No vember, 1719, and many of them were obliged to live in granaries and lof.s, there not being suffi cient house accommodation for them all. The promcnaders in the streets were cl< thed in velvet and gold; andtbewinter of 1719-’2o,was more brilliant than the finest summer eve: seen before. •- Thcbubble. however, was already full blown- The credit of the bank and of the India Com pany was at i.s height in the months of November and December, 1719, and January, 1720, when shares In the Company were selling at 10 000, ivres ea.-h. Such was the abundance of money in the bar.i, that it offered to lend sums of any amounte on proper security, at an Interest of only 2 per cent. Now, however, a d’ain of specie from the bank began tube discernible. Numbers of per son posrested of ?tock in this Company—either, foreseeing disaster, or haunted with a vague suspicion that so p-o-pcrous a state of things could not iast long—began to sc 1 out and con vert their shares intog Id and silt er, rnd other precious commodities, which they cither hoarded up, or sent secretly out of thecountry. Various stock jobbers remitted hundreds of thousands of louis d’ors to England. These examples were imitated by others; for nothing is more can contagious than (ear; and tn a short time 5U0,- 000,000 livres in specie were seat out ol France. •‘ln an instant—so suddenly, in fact that it is impossible to trace the steps of the process—the nation, which had been glorifying in its good fortune, was struck with dismay and despair Ths use of specie had been prohib’ted ; but this could not restore confidence in Law’s paper, and nobody would accept it willingly. It was felt universally that Law’s echense had been a burble, and that it had now burst. “All efforts to arrest the progress of 'he panic were in vain. In consequence of the decree ordering all payments tube made in paper, s fresh issue of notes had taken place, and in May, 1720. the no’es issued amounted to 2,600,- 000 000 livres, while the quantity of specie in the kingdom was estimated at 1,300,000,000. or only half as much. “On the 27th of May, the bank stopped pay ment in epscie ; and on the game day Law was dismissed from the office as minister of finance. D’Ag'Jesseau, who had been dismissed from the ministry in 1719, on account cf his opposi tion to Law’s projects was now recalled; and by bis advice a decree was paseed on the Ist ot June, r-.calling the decree forbidding the amass ing of specie. In order to assist in absorbing the immense mass of paper money, an issue ot 25.0t?0,000,079 bank notes took place on the se curity of the revenues of the city of Paris, and bearing an interest of 2j percent. The notes which this new issue was to be the means of withdrawing, were to be publicly burnt. On the 10th cf Jone, the bank was re-opened f. r the payment of small notes —notes of 10 liv-.cs and a little upwards. As almost all the population of Paris rushed to the banks to exchange their • small nous for scecie, theavennes to tr.e building we e blocked up, and hardly a day passed in ' which five or six persons were not crushed to death and trampled under foot. Silver bceom -1 ing scarce, the bank was obliged to cash the notes in topper; and persons m’ght te seen toil- ] ing along with immense of copper money, which they had procured in exchange for notes —glad, howevet, th it they had got anything at all. As the old notes did not come in co fast in i exchange for the new ones as was expected, i fresh measures were adopted to attract them. Upwards {of 30,100,000 of perpetual annuities ‘ were created, purchasable by* noies ; and if the | peop'e bad responded to'he invitation, and pur chased the annuities, about 2,000,000,000 of the ’ | notes would have been retired in this way ; but i notwithstanding the eagerness that prevailed to get rid of the notes, the terms of the offer were so unfavorable! that people still hesi ated, and 1 preferred keeping the notes and taking the chance of what might yet occur. To counter act this hesitation, a decree was published on the 15thof August, declaring that all notes of 10,000 or of 1000 livres should have no currency ■ except in the purchasejof the annuities; but as the hesitation stiff continued, another decree was passed, declaring that notes would be good for no purpose whatever after the Ist of Novem ber, 1720. Numbers, however, kept their notes even after the specified time, in me vain hopes of better terms ; and the consequence was, that large quantities of Law’s notes remained in houses as family lumber, down even to the date of the French Revolution when they were produced as curiosities, to be compared witn the assignats. Such was the end of the famous Mississippi bubble, by wh’ch a few individuals acquired large fortunes, while thousands of families were ruined, and the nation sustained a shock which it did not recover for many years. The South sea company was a cognate scheme; it was founded by the celebrated statesman Harley, Earl of Oxford, in 1711. ft took its name from the fact that in return for certain un dertakings agreed to be performed by the Com pany, the Government was to grant them a monopoly of the trade in the South Sea, or, as it is now called, the Pacific Ocean ; and yet but a single voyage was ever performed to that region ’under the auspices of the Company. The Com pany flourished as a monetary concern, and was a formidable rival of the Bank of Eugland,from It the ■/■’n-ruei t.f p?yir-' th.? p. ; * debt, then amounting to £30.000,000. Immedi ately alter this event, the stock rose from 130 to 400, and a general furor pervaded all classes to invest, and although the Mississippi scheme was before their eyes, as an example of popular fatuity, the contagion was irresistible, and the people rushed headlong into the san.e folly. There was no limit to the extravagant anticipa tions with which the public m-nd became infla ted | to use the words of a looker on. “it seem ed at that time as if t! e whole nation hid turn ed stockjobbers. Exchange Alley was evjry day blocked up by crowds, and Cornhill was impassable from the number of carriages. Ev erybody came to purchase stock. “Every fool aspired to be a knave.” The South Sea scheme had not even the merit of the Mississippi scheme ; it was a simple empty bubble, inflated by the breath of knaves, and ita explosion was in tantaneous; the whole duration of this nefarious humbug rid ou ex ceed eight months. When the stock reached its maximum, the directors commenced selling out; a panic immediately ensued, and shares fell from 1000 to 700 ; down again they went until they fell to 400, and then again to 130. The Government, with the aid of the Bank of Eng gland.attempted to support the sinking company, but it was i f no avail ; the demolition of the South Sea Company was com flefe. The Di rectors were tried, and punished, either by fine or imprisonment, or both. These were the two great money bubbles of modern times ; with which, whether considered as to magnitude or the disastrous resulting con sequence?, there has been nothing in our day comparable. Clmrleston and the Stamp Act. The following letter, we believe, has never been published, although the rubs'ance of it has been Used. It was addressed by Daniel Stevens to Hon. John Drayton, and mutt now be read with much interest —as giving informa tion on a passage of our State history which is little understo d The publication of the let ter scarcely calls for explanation now, although the conduct of citizens of Charleston to a dis tinguished fellow-citizen afterwards ennobled both by services and sufferings in the ciuse of freedom, may teem strange and ur accountable Itii a striking indication, however, of the ex tent to which opposition to the Stamp Act ha I swayed the popular mind of Charleston, and the excesses committed under this feeling, to wards a noble CaroLni&n and true patriot, were hardly sufficient to earn for the actors the appellation of “mob,” which the indignant writer bestows. Few popular movemen • have ever been altogether free from tumult or ex cess; but tho world rra\ be challenged to show one with less of such alloy than the American Revolution. The le .ter referred to, is as follows: Charleston, Dec. 20, 1319 Agreeab’y to my promise, and hiving had a little leisure during my la’e vis t in tho country I now give you a short detail of aom? even's that arose previous to the independence of our country, but which were among the chief fea tures of that glorious cause, and were evidence of the spirit of liberty tha animated the heart ol a'tn ‘st every American, even at so early a day. Tne occurrences that 1 allude to were, *«uid although at that period, I was a mere lad, yet the events of that d.iy are recent in my memory, (and being a scion of the old s ock of emigrants that originally flad from Old England to Plymouth, N w England, from tha per-ecu tiorm of that then government. I imbibed and retained tha same principles of independence and rational liberty they possessed ) In the year 1766, the British Parliament pissed ar; act, (in which Americans were not allowed a voice) laying a duty or tax on stamps on pa per, with a determination to enforce it on America at all hazards This the Ame rcing as equally determined to resist ; the consequence was, town meetings were called throughout the Atlantic States, in order to pre pare measures of resistance. On the other hand, the British Government were sending out their stamped paper in r»am« and bales in private and armed vessels, to the ports of A merica. Soon after a town meeting was held in Charleston, and resolutions taken to prevent landire or introduction of this paper. A Brit ish sloop of war arrived in our harbor direct from England, said to have on board some where about .500 reams of stamped paper She came to abreast of Fort Johnsou ; al this period the force stationed there consisted of a 1 gunner and 12 or 11 privates, and commanded by a Captain Lloyd, a native, and citizen of Charleston, whose title was Governor of Castle , Johnson but who never resided at the fort, now and then visiting it. Tne committee of the town meeting, consisting of Daniel Cannon, , Wm. Williamson, Edward Weyman, and oth- ] ers, having received certain information that | this stamped paper was landed from tho sloop , of war into Fort Johnson, finding all a tempts j to land it in the city prove abortive—a private < meeting of citizens was held, end th ; a ccinmu- , cation made. It was therefore resolved, that the committee be authorized to make the at- ( Jempt to gel possessimof the stamped paper ( deporited in Fort Johnson and that they pro- , cure and select a body of volunteers for this , purpose—and the utmost privacy being cb ( served, they soon selected 150 volunteers, . armed and ready to move. Two nights after , this, boats teinx provided at Lamboll’a bridge, j lower end of King street, wo embarkad with < as much silence as possible, and about 12 o'- . ctock, P. M. rowed across to a landing on , James Island, just below Hites, and with great ( cautiuD, advatcad towards Fort Johnson. On , the land side of this Fort was a wet ditch ( around the counter scarp, and a bridge thrown , across, by which you entered the advanced gate of the Fort. As this was a draw bridge, it was usually drawn up, and we sent a small party in advance, very circumspectly, to I his bri'ge, j and found it had not been drawn up that night. On their report being made, the who e body o' vo unteers advanced, crossed .he bridge, and took posiesjion of the gale, which was found not fasloned. The whole then inarched on wi.h filed bayo ne s; on entering tbe Fort, found but one soldier awake, and before he could give the alarm, we had the remainder of the garrison secured, and found ourselves in complete pot session of the Fort. After placing the garri son under gnard, and drawing up tbe bridge, we proceeded to search out the stamped pa per. which we found iu one of the rooms of the barracks. The nsxt step taken was to provide far defence against daylight, knowing it would soon be discovered ws were tn pos session of the Fort, and the sloop of war then lying abreast rs it. might be induced to make an attack. We therefore organized the troops we had to the cannon, and practiced them prepara'ory to any atts t pt that might be made—loaded every piece of cannon, pre pared ammunition for action, and s-aiioned officers and men to each ; and Laving brought down with us a flay, which was a blue field and three crescent in that field, as soon as every preparation was made for defame, the flag was hoisted on the staff instead ol the Brniah standard, and ths utmost silence observ ed to await the issue of the sloop of war. As soon as it was daylight, the strange color flying from .he flagstaff was observed from the eloop of war, the astonishment of which must no doubt be great; some time after this, we discovered a boat coming from her towards the For’. Our commanding officer went forward to receive the officer on his landing. lie soon discovered this was not ’he u-ual garrison, ha i- quired tbe meaning es the flag fiat was ’hen flying, at which question ne was requested t> come into the fort, and then tie would be in formed.

Thus ended an expedition fraught with much danger but which terminated without bloodshed: we having accomplished the end we had n view. Notwithstanding this wise and successful measure, suspicion was still afloat that a? me of the odious stamp paper had been landed or brought into the province by some other persons, and been received by some of our feliow-citizena and some of he King’s civil officers—the public resentment therefore was not appeased. Truly sorry am I to say this suspicion in some measure rested on (though extremely errone ously,) Col. Henry Laurens, one of our best citizens, who residedin his elegant mansion and large enclosure nearly opposite to Gadsden’s Wharf. This suspicion also rested on Chief Jtfetice Shinner (the then King’s Chief Justice.) who resided at lhe upper end of King street in a brick building situated back from the street, within a few doors from George-st. on the east side, and is now inhabited and is the oldest building now in Charleston. This suspicion being alive, that stamped paper was in the city, the citizens resolved to find it out, and a very large body assembled in the evening under the orders of Messers. Cannon & Williamson an 1 proceeded late at night to the Mansion of Col. Henry Laurens, and signified to that gentle man their information, who arose from his slum bers, assured them they were wrongly informed, gave them the keys of his cellars and outbuild ings to search, but no stamped papers were found. In this unpleasant and improper busi ness, I am very sorry to say lhe mob could not be restrained; the Messrs Cannon & Williamson did all in their power to prevent depredations. Large quantities of the Colonel’s stores in his cellars* v/e-.e destroyed and waste t. From thence they were drawn offio the residence of Chief Justice Shinner, a noble hearted Hiberni an, who arose from his slumbers, received this committee of citizens with great good humor, as sured them he had nothing to do with the stamp paper, knew nothing of it and requested them to search every part of his premises. None cf it was found —during this search such was the goodness of heart of the worthy man he had made a large bowl of punch (usually drunk in those days,) and presented to the committee. They iequested him to set the example, and in a very humorous mood requested him to drink as a toast “ damnation to the stamp act,” which he without hesitation and in good humor drank. I could now’ give you some details of several town meetings after this resolving not to use tea or permit others to use if, in which was a duty or tax without our consent, and of the de struction of several cargoes of tea by throwing it into the river in which I strenuously assisted, but this subject I must defer to another opportu nity.

From the Baltimore American. Fanaticism North and South.—ln the city of New York the rames < f gome 'hotisandg of the ci izens. comprising worthy and subs an’ial men without d junction of party, have been published tn declaration of a pledge to.carry out lhe purpose of the Union meeting at Cas tle Garden nearly a year ago. lender a firm belief that the further agi’anon cf the slavery question in Congress would be f aught with incalculable d neors to the Union, ti.e pledge is that they “will support no candiJaro at the ensuing or any other eleciion, for biate ofli cars, or for Members of Congress, or «f the Legislature, who ia known or be ieved to be hostile to the peaco measures recently adopted by Congrose, or any of them, or in favor of re opening the questions involved iu them for renewed agitation.” This conservative movement has been im pelled by the ambiguity end evasions of both of iho political parlies, Whig and Democratic, in the S’ate of New Yo;k respecting the slavery question aril its future agita.ionin the political arena. Conservatism at the South is better organized for the issue. It has met it at the ballot box triumphantly in Mii'-istippi and in Alabama, and we have no d »übt of its triumph yea:erday in Georgia. A democratic 4 journal, the St. .xOuaTimep, referring to the withdrawal of Gert. Quitman from the gubernatorial canvass in Mississippi, *ck<s occasion to say : ’•Under other circumstances, we should have happy in witnessing lhe success cf Gere rnl Quitman in lhe pre 1 mi nary struggle for seats tn the Convention, on the pars, of bis Tr ends, or in the subsequea-. one yet to take place for a seat in 'he Governor’s chair, ss a candidate for lha’ high position himself. But ws know of m consideration that could tend to afl’jrd us any satisfaction in witnessing the continued agitation of the elavery question in either tho North or the South, even though those whom we have heretofore highly honor ed, and still honor, should be thereby elevated to places of honor aud trust. We can see in the agitation of that subject no future good to any portion of the Union, and to us it seems that fana iciam alone is able io urge men to an effort to unsettle the foundations on which tbe delicate quest on heretofme i o threatening and so d(flicu!i of ad; istment have been at length amicably and we hope finally, settled. It is fanat’Cism, whether the effoH is made by men at the North or at tho South. Or, if it is not fanaiicism, it is reason. And we can see but little to choose between tho fanatics of the North and those of the Sjuth, when the ten dency of the machinations of each is to under mice the stability of tho Union. Ilia becauso of thi< that we view with satisfaction the overwhelming success of Union mon in the lato Mississippi election, not that General Quitman and his frisnds are not friends of tho Union—we certainly hope they are; but because the Union men of lhe rfouih are for leliing things remain na they are, content to let well enough alone.’ And this is the feeling of the masses throughout the laud.’' It is much to bo regretted that tho con servatism of some portions of the North, with ail its profe«s on of love for ths Union, could not so far vindicate its devotion to tho Consti tution as to make it aru e and s andard of po litical action over every thing else. A vic ory barren of all national results and rich only in the spoils of local plunder, is to be contended for in those quarters by eager competitors un derthe impulses of an insane cupidity, while the cauFo of lhe Union and the Constitution is left to corns in hereafter for such consideration as it may obtain at the hands of coward friends, exulting traitors, and triumphant ties. For the fucceps of either party, as at present array ed against each other, will be the success of the abolition element in all its avowed purposes of agitation. Who can doubt that? Who does m t in his own mind perceive and inhisetndid judgment confess it ? T j that e’ement a fatal cor cession 1 as been made, w h reyer the avow al of a determination to limit party agitation within the strict limits of const tutional action end discussion has been evaded, equivocated with or refused. Under such circumstances conservatism has no hope eave in a resurrec tion. Judge Berrien’s Address* Tho Washington Gazette makes the follow ing comments upon Senator Berrien’s late ad dress: jtAs an exposition of hfs whereabouts in the present political contest, we simply remark that, to us it iaincomprehensible; while there is much in its tone and spirit which we consider unwor thy of the high source from which it emanated. Notwithstanding the author sets out with a pledge to answer ‘‘frankly” the question “will you act with the Constitutional Union party,” we have yet to ses the first man who has risen from a perusal of the five or six columns he baa written, with a settled conviction either that he would, or that he would notact with that party. Oer own impression, derived from the general drift of his discourse, is that Judge Berrien is a Constitutional Union man, thougn, so ambigu ous is the address, that we can readily perceive how, by dint of a little sophistry, the same ev idence maybe made to prove him otherwise in the event of a Southern Righ s triumph at the late election. Our opinion, upon the whole, is that apublio man who would consent, in times like these, to be thus lost and befogged in the eyes of his constituents, is unworthy the confi dence of either party. While Jud; c Berrien pro*essea to stand on the Georgia Platform of 1850, he seems bent on a quarrel with the authors and friends cf that platiorm, and r ises an issue with Messrs. Toombs, Stephens and Cobb, which we regret to have to say is false. The assertion that be is required, as a pre rrq itsite to membership in the Union party, to declare 'hat the Comprcrnise is "wise, liberal and just” is wholly gratuitous. Such a condition has never been suggested by any pres’ cr nan of the party, and we defy Judge Berrien to prove that it has. The party was’formcd upon the single principle of acquies cence in the Compromise as a Cm! adjustment of the slavery q restion. It looked forward to the policy of tire future, and not to abstract opinions of the past. Its object was to bring quiet and contentment to the country, and not eternal agitation and alarm by the ceaseless cry cf “injustice’ and‘ degradation.” There is one allusion in J udge Berrien's ad dress to which we reluctantly refer, and which we regret to fin-1 in any paper that comes from his pen. He epcaka of some individual, wo know not who, who Las “stultified” himscil by dating to sit In judgment upon his capacity an 1 to ofler forgiveness tor his recent abstrac tions. We know net to whem Judge B. has ref erence, but as wc alluded a few weeks since, t“ his ‘great mind,’ and spoke cf his ’aberrations,’ we come within tire category of the person al luded to, as having made a foci of himself, and feel bound, in seif respect, to characterise such language as unworthy and contemp ible. It is a new feature in republican institutions that the constituent cannotepeak of the capacity or con sistency of his lepresentarive without subjecting himselt to the rudeness of being called a fool. We desi-e, in our discussion of the course and ] character of public men, to be courteous and respectful; but it Judge Berrien, or anybody I else, supposes that we can be deterred fr- tn a | iree and full expression of our opinions, by the I dignity cf the subject, he is vastly mistaken. Judge Berrien seems to complain bitterly that his fid.htv should have been suspected by the Union party, and of the injustice of such a suspicion. We cm tell him that the distrust is not without cause. Where was he last fall pen ding the ctnvass for the Convention called to resist the laws of the country 1 Was he net claimed by the resistance party, and when called upon to run as a candidate of that party for a seat in the Convention, w-hy did he not repudi atei their d ctrines, inatead ol giving hia silent ’ assent, by assigning as the oaly reason for hia refusal, the urgency of his senatorial duties at Washington. Why is it that he has allowed himself, for twelve months past, to be regarded ae a cham pion of tho Southern Rights’ party, and failed to come out and undeceive them 1 Why ia it that he has received letters to Southern Rights* meetings all over the country, in company with Colquitt and McDmald, and never written a line in reply to tell them ho was a Union man, and that they had classed him wrongfully ? Why is ft that he has so long allowed the in fluence of hia name to be used in order to preju dice the people against their government, and never dared to open his mouth in condemnation of the treason 1 I.et Judge Berrien or hia friends answer these questions if they can. Doubting liis position ? Why, the very ad dress of Judge B. is but a laboratory of doubt. It haeappeaeed and been read by his fellow cit izens, let us see what they, even now, think of his position. We have given our own impres sions ; we now turn to the Southern Right’s press, and see how much his ad Iress has done to disabuse the public mind. If they be right, it is very certain he has no claima upon the Con stitutional Union party of Georgia. From the Albany (Gu.) Patriot, 3d inst. We occupy a large space in our paper this week with tho letter of our Senator, Judge Ber rien. It is a manly and able defence of his course against the imputation of the Cobbite Convention at Richmond county. He does not approve of the Compromise measures as fair, just and equitable; he asserts that the South was wronged in the settlement, and that the North has manifested a long con tinued aggressive spirit; he is opposed to disu nion but is in favor of manly assertion of rights. He repudiates the entire doctrine of Cobband hit Federal as ter as to the justice of the Compro mise measures.to the South; he takes the ground of the Georgia Convention, which decided to “ abide by\the compromise, not to approve it; and he characterizes the Cobb, Constitutional Union party as a proscriptive party, which the Georgia Convention did nothing to authorize. Read the letter —•Zucfc'e Berrien it with us, and opposed to Coos andtiis >rectrtnes. From the Cofunwus 7’imcs Ist inst Hox. John M. Bessies.—This gentleman has put forth an address to the people of Geor gia, defining his position on the exciting issues before the people of the State. Judge Berrien has been cairned as a Cobb man. The addreet before us is the most bitter tali re, in a quiet way, we hive yet read on the “ Constitutional Union” party. Judge Berrien shows that the Cobb party is not on the “ Georg's Plaform,’* and that their principles, as set forth in their speeches, addresses and editorials, aro at points with tho action of tha Convention. From the Savannah Georgian 30ZA ull. We like Mr. Berrien's condemnation of Cobb and Webster’s doctrines that ours is a govern ment of force. We like the manner in which he rebukes his Augusta enemies, and the way in which he raps the to called Constitutional Union men is peculiarly edifying. If the tri umvbate (Cobb, Toombs and Stephens,) don’t wince under the lash so admirably applied, then hey must have tough hides. The conspirators against him arc rasped with severity only equal ed by its justice. But we have room for no mo - o. From the Athens Herald. “The reader is doubtless aware that for some two or three weeks past tho Disruption prints have claimed our distinguished Senator as Mr. Cobb’s supporter. Although we did not place any confidence whatever in the story, we did not feel at liberty to contradict it, until we could do so authoritatively Thus are the fabrications <>l the Dirruptionists, week after week, exposed and nailed to tho counter; and yet within in dustry worthy of a better cause they re-vamp old stories and coin new ones, for the purpose ot bolstering up a desperate cause. This at tempt on their part to take refuge behind the great name of Judge Berrien, is in keeping with their whole course. From the Lagrange (Ga.) Southern Bights Ad vocate. In giving Judge Berrien’s Address that atten tion which I think it justly entitled to, it seems to me that no candid, frank, and open hearted man, I care not what parly he is united with, will longer doubt what the position of Judge Ber rien is upon tho all-absorbing questions of the day. He comes out boldly, openly, like a pure State Rights man. Will the Cobbites longer clai-n Judge Berrien! This is a question of some importance. Not long since some of their presses hoisted the name of tho Judge with a parcel of subs, knowing at the same lime that J udge Berrien was not a friend to the Clay Com promise. Read his speech in opposition to the Compromise, fie there strenuously contended that it was not fair, but illiberal and unjust. His position is now as it was then. He is as firm an i immovable as the lock of ages. He is to-day one of Georgia’s particular stars| one of her purest pillars: one of her proudest sons. Can Judge Berrien longer be surprised by the “ serious doubts” that have taken possession of the minds of his old friends, now that univer sal distrust of his position is shown to prevail! We wish distinctly to be understood, in justice to our judgment and ladings in this ivsue be tween Judge B. and the people of Georgia, that wo design no reflection upon his pcrzonal.integ rity, his patriotism, or his loyalty and devotion to the Union. We do complain, though, of his extraordinary silence when he, above all oth ers, should have been heard. We complain ol his neutrality, to say the least, at a time when no true friend of tho Union should have been found unclad in the armor of war. We complain that, throughout the late crisis of our destiny, tho friends of the Union had to struggle unaided by the power of his strong arm arid the Influence of his high po sition, while he remained silent under boasts of its enemies that that power and influence were enlisted in their cause. Our cause for dissatis faction is just, and Judge Berrien cannot com plain that the Union party of Georgia should do. sire to be represented by another equally loyal to the government with himself, and who unlike him, has shared their hardships and their for tunes In the fiery struggles of the past.
